Color system

Light surfaces use 5 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

Canvas

Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 1.
Primary text

Observed display foreground with 16.0:1 contrast against the captured canvas.

Action

Primary action

Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action.

Typography

A single-family system uses Avenir Next across display and reading roles, differentiated by size and weight.

Metric previews use the observed CSS values. Source font files are not bundled, so unavailable families fall back locally.

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #f7f5ee canvas with #171b15 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Preserve the first viewport’s existing display-to-body scale contrast.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Book a demo” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
  • Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 2px is the repeated treatment on containers.
  • Do not reuse the #171b15 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Avenir Next.
  • Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.
